Me
Karl. Can you chat for a little?

Best Bitch
Everything okay?

Me
Yeah, I think I'm just a little sad. I miss my
dad so much right now.

Best Bitch
That's understandable Hun. Your dad is
gone for months on end, that's just what he does.

Me
Yeah I know, archaeology is cool and all
but it also sucks major ass. My mom is really sad
right now. It's been nearly 3 months since I've
seen him. Over a month since I've talked to him.
This is tearing me apart. So much shit is happening
in my life right now.

Best Bitch
I know sweetie and things will get better. I promise
they will! Didn't your mom say you'll experience that
pain many more times in your life?

Me
Oh my god! She is feeling it right now. I'm such a bitch.
I've been weighing her down with my problems when she
actually hasn't seen the love of her life in so long. I'm so
inconsiderate. Karlie what do I do?

Best Bitch
I recommend you go say your sorry to her,
Also say hi to your dad for me.

I raced down my steps and with each step more excitement boiling up.
"Dad!" I ran as quickly as I could over to him. I hugged him so tight until her could burst. We went through some personal things but I can tell you one thing. When you have a parent that travels a lot the long months with out them feels like years. It had never occurred to me that this could have been adding to my pain. It had never occurred to me , until right in that moment.

A/N short but sweet, I wanted to give you guys a little insight to Hannas family life. Also I have officially drafted ideas for every chapter! I'm so excited!
